It's always interesting making a documentary because you're never 100% sure what you'll end up with. All of the preproduction and planning in the world still can't predict the future. We went into this film with the idea to explore what is the "big deal" about Pilates. What is behind all of the hype? Why has it grown in the way that it has? These questions turned out to be the perfect gateway into exploring the real theme of the film, the essence of Pilates. A Movement of Movement has been in production for 7 months, and it has come thousands of miles since its inception, literally. The expansion of Pilates is only a small part of the film. In exploring how and why Pilates has spread, something caught our attention. There's something about Pilates, other than the history and science that is driving the method; just like there is something more to surfing than just gliding on the water. What is it about certain things in life that keep pulling us back? What is the essence of Pilates?
